  • Patent number: 4919426
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dust cover for a game board which is preferably made of a transparent material such as plastic. The periphery of the cover is sized to facilitate placing of the cover over a game board such as, for example, a Scrabble board. A portion of the cover defines a pouring spout so that the board, with the cover mounted thereover may be inverted to allow game pieces to fall onto the cover whereupon the cover and board may be tilted to allow all game pieces to be poured into a container through the pouring spout. A hinge may be provided adjacent the pouring spout to allow pivoting thereof to a position allowing pouring of the game pieces into the container.
